I forgot these cases (o~è~in; a~è~in; o~è~an...). They are often elided ("quest'in" instead of "questa~è~in") by editors and composers.
So your view is that lyric ties are not used in the real world? I still feel them as a pedagogy resource for young musicians or something. Or maybe old scores did not use them and they are now more often used. I don't know.
Several famous editors use them, with no particular rule. Let's take the example of Ricordi Milano. In this score, published around 1982, there's no ties (we can see a "na è in" in the beginning): http://petrucci.mus.auth.gr/imglnks/usimg/2/20/IMSLP81325-PMLP165637-la_danza.pdf In this one, published around 1925, we can find ties (and it's not a beginner score!): http://216.129.110.22/files/imglnks/usimg/2/29/IMSLP80146-PMLP162554-Vivaldi_-_Agitata_da_due_venti__Griselda_.pdf In every recent score I have from them, they always use ties. Those which were done using traditional engraving as those using Finale. I will have to do a better patch... http://codereview.appspot.com/4808074/ _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
